Just what you'd expect: "Failed password for 
development from 192.168.1.101 port 1121 ssh2".

(BTW, the account is named "development", not 
"developer" as I first stated; if I try an 
incorrect username, I get "invalid user" 
messages, so it's not a username issue.)


Thanks,
Dan


P.S. Thanks for noting that log entries end up in 
the Windows Event Viewer; in the past I've spent 
many a happy hour wondering where the %$^& 
logfiles were stored in Windows.
